Since the cavity for an embedded component is based on the Placebound shape in the package file (according to the Embedded Component Design Best Practices document), and Package Keepout areas are not meant to be placed at the package level, how can I establish minimum Placebound-to-Placebound spacings for an individual component at the package level that will show up as DRCs during placement? Do I need to use a DFA_Bound shape and then develop a DFA spreadsheet with the spacings I want? I was hoping to set it at the package file level and forget about it.
